Opus One 1983 is a Napa Valley red wine from the partnership founded by Baron Philippe de Rothschild and Robert Mondavi. Rains in August were followed by dry, windy September weather; a reduced crop produced lean, well-balanced wines for medium-term aging.
Tasting Profile
- Nose: Mature Cabernet-blend profile; official PDF gives season and structure rather than detailed aroma notes.
- Palate: Lean, well-balanced structure from a reduced crop; bottle evolution must be assessed individually.
- Finish: Medium-term aging profile; current finish depends on provenance and condition.
Best For
Mature Napa Valley Cabernet-blend service, collector review, and careful cellaring contexts; inspect bottle condition before sale or opening.
